woods. His “ Paradise ” in the Berlin Mus. is a good specimen of
his works.
Savoldo, Girolamo, born at Brescia. Flourished about 1540.
An imitator of Titian. He was an able artist, no doubt, but his his-
tory is not well known, and it is difficult to speak of him. Some
good critics believe that his works are in many galleries and are
attributed to other painters. His works are seen in the Manfrini,
Uffizi, and Berlin galleries.
Scanabecchi. See Dalmasio.
Scaramuccia, Luigi, called II Perugino (1616-1680). He was
not only a painter, but also a teacher, and a writer on art. He was
a pupil of Guido’s and settled at Milan where he had his school. He
published in 1674 at Pavia a work on the excellences of the Italian
painters. His portrait is in the Acad, of S. Luke at Rome, of which
he was a member.
Schadow, John Gottfried, born at Berlin (1764-1850). After
studying some time in Rome he was appointed court sculptor at Ber-
lin. His works are unpretending and lifelike in effect. Among his
best works are the statues of Count von der Mark in Berlin, and
Frederick the Great at Stettin. His son, John Rudolph Schadow,
was very gifted but died young. He studied under Canova and
Thorwaldsen, and is well known by his statue of a girl fastening
her sandal, which has been often repeated. At the time of his death
he had modelled the group of “ Achilles protecting the body of Pen-
thesilea,” which was finished by Wolff (1786-1822).
Schaffner, Martin. Flourished 1499-1535. A painter of Ulm.
He modified his realistic manner, and must have studied some Italian
works. He excelled in the representation of the innocence of young
girls, as it is seen in a picture of female saints in the Berlin Mus.
His best work is a series from the life of the Virgin, now at Munich.
His portraits in the Besser chapel and sacristy of the Ulm Cath.
prove him to have excelled in this department of painting.
Schalken, Gottfried, born at Dort (1643-1706). Pupil of Hoch-
straeten and Gerard Dow. He visited England in the time of Will-
iam III. He painted portraits and some Scriptural subjects, but his
forte was scenes from common life, by candle-light. Many of them
are now injured by change of color. His works are seen in the
Louvre, Munich, Vienna, Dresden, Berlin, and Amsterdam galleries,
and a few are at Buckingham Palace.
Schedone, Bartolommeo, born at Modena (about 1580-1615).
Duke Ranuccio was his friend and patron, and he formed himself by
study of Correggio. Large works by Schedone are rare, and his
pictures are best seen in the Gall, of Naples. The small number of
his works is attributable to his love of gaming, in which he wasted
his time, and died, it is said, from distress of mind, on account of
losing in one night more than all he possessed in the world.
